the snl 'rockin' in the free world' is phenomenal, one of the greatest tv musical performances ever imo
powderfinger might be my favourite neil lyric, just the right balance between poetic and specific

i saw a band cover "albuquerque" recently and it felt like a gift. i recognized it in like 3 notes and there was nothing particularly outstanding about it musically but what a pleasure to hear that song being played by people!
that SNL performance always cheers me up when i am feeling low. i feel like watching it over and over helps to reclaim that song from its truly awful fate as "escalator song" :(

sounds like you're travelling in some pretty rockin' elevators tbh

no elevators -- the escalator video of DJT & M descending to make his speech where he announced his candidacy that i will not link or ever watch again if i can avoid it
ALSO at the girls rock end-of-camp showcase last weekend a wee camper DJ played "rockin in the free world" during her DJ set and i shed a tear or 5

The “country ham” line in Albuquerque has always kind of taken me out of the moment.

what, the fried eggs are ok but not the ham? i like that the line it rhymes with is super poignant. it elevates the ham.

definitely makes me want some fried eggs and country ham

I like/love 'em all, really. Post-Ragged Glory albums I'd rank with his best: Harvest Moon, Greendale, Psychedelic Pill.

solid list for sure
the live at the fillmore east renditions of the everybody knows this is nowhere songs have taken over as the definitive versions for me in the last couple of years

when Keith Richards, recording his solo album, said he’d run out of material to write about, drummer Steve Jordan reminded him, “Think of Mick. Write about Mick.”
hahahaha that's amazing
